How old is too old to have a crush on someone?

I have this horrible crush on someone who works indirectly with me. Very indirectly. Like I maybe see him once every couple of months. But man is he cute! Even worse - he's nice! Gawd, I hate cute, nice men. I have absolutely no will power when they're cute and nice. And did I mention he's handy? He likes to fix stuff. Argh! How can a girl possibly resist?

Now before y'all think I'm going to throw caution to the wind - it ain't going to happen outside of my fantasies. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 7 years - and damn if I don't love him. Stinkin' love. So I guess my indirect coworker will have to occupy the corner of my mind that is also home to the Barber twins. *dreamy sigh*

Yesterday was spent in front of the TV watching football - and like how depressing was that? The Buffalo Bills are bound and determined to drive me to drink. I mean, I know they were playing the New England Patriots - but damn!

This was kind of a mixed bag 3.5 Star kind of read - but I positively inhaled it, so I'm rounding it up to 4 Stars. The heroine is young, makes some seriously bone-headed decisions, but the author writes the heck out of this story and I ...

I should have DNF'ed this because it never succeeded in grabbing me. My reading experience here was largely indifferent, I suspect because the plot was a bit too loosey-goosey for too long. There's the long-lost son (hero) with an evil m...

My reread/revisiting of the McCone series marches on with this book that I vaguely remembered "really liking" back in the day. I still kind of liked it, but it didn't hold up as well for me as Trophies and Dead Things. I suspect because ...

#11 in the Sharon McCone series works best as a mystery if you're completely ignorant of later books in the series. The misdirection involving a secondary character would just play better. I liked this one, but wasn't in love with it. Th...
